Previous studies suggest that reducing target oxygen saturation levels to 85-93% decreases the incidence of severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Our aim was to determine if a more modest reduction in target oxygen saturation levels also reduces ROP incidence. ⋯ We observed a small but statistically insignificant reduction in the incidence of severe ROP after a modest reduction in target oxygen saturation levels to 90 to 96% in the first several weeks of life.

To present a detailed series of patients with unilateral retinal hemorrhages in shaken baby syndrome. ⋯ These patients demonstrate the varied presentations of shaken baby syndrome. Unilateral retinal hemorrhages do not rule out the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome.

Linear nondisplaced orbital floor fractures with muscle entrapment occur in the pediatric population. These fractures occur with minimal trauma and few external signs of injury. This study reviews the clinical findings, radiologic findings and interpretations, preoperative and postoperative ocular motility, and outcomes in this subset of orbital fracture patients treated with early surgical repair. ⋯ Despite prompt surgical repair, limited elevation and depression occur in the early postoperative period, possibly due to muscle edema, hemorrhage, and ischemia. Recovery of normal ocular motility may take weeks or months. External signs of injury may be minimal and radiologic interpretation may not recognize fracture or muscle entrapment.
